TITLES TO REAL ESTATE.
Important Decision by the Court In
Banc Affecting the Game,


In the court In general term yesterday
morning q case Of some importance as af-
fecting titles TO real estate was decided.
In 1888 George Brent was duly adiudged
insane on the petition Of his sister, who was
appointed by the equity court committee Of
his person and property. Subsequently
In the same proceeding, on petition Of the
committee, supported by affidavit, the court
passed decree directing sale OF part OF
the luDatic's real estate for his maintenance
and support.
After the sale was made, and before It's
final ratification, the purchaser was advised
that grave doubts existed as TO the jurisdic-
tion OF the court to decree such sale, and
the regularity Of the proceeding under
which the same was made.
IL was claimed that there existed no
authority In law TO sell the real estate OF q
lunatlc In this District, and that IL such
authority existed the court could not deem
sale In the same proceeding In which the
committee had been appointed, but that a
separate suit must first be filed by such
committee against the lunatic, and further.
that such sale could not be decreed In afli-
davits merely as TO its necessity.
These questions having been certified by
the special term TO the court In banc, the
latter holds that the court had full power
and jurisdiction TO decree the sale, that IL
was properly made upon the petition Of the
committee, and that the proceedings were
in all respects regular.
